Students learn methods for identification, diagnosis, intervention, and referral of substance-abusing clients and clients with co-occurring mental health problems in a range of settings. The course helps students work with clients who are unaware of their problem or not ready to address it, as well as clients in treatment and those in relapse. Students take drinking/drug histories, assess clients’ stage of readiness for change, estimate problem severity, and negotiate treatment goals. Attention is paid to family issues, relapse prevention, identification and use of evidence-based treatments, and an integrated approach to treatment including use of 12-Step Programs. Students present cases from the field.
